I absolutely agree with this statement. Most all safety critical applications already use this approach as code generation can be controlled and qualified.
In these cases the efficiency (execution time) isn't quite as good as something hand crafted and optimized, but with processing power on the cheap and labor costs rising, efficiency in development time seems much more appetizing to me.
